Rotarian Jason Gonzales, president of the E-Club of Wall Street, visits RadioRotary via Zoom to tell how the former Wall Street Rotary became an online E-club and still continues to do good in the world. When the Rotary Club of Wall Street recognized in 2018 that it was barely hanging in with only 10 active members, the members decided to reconstitute as an online E-club, which today is up to 32 members in 13 countries around the world. The members meet by Zoom from their respective locations at noon (Wall Street time\u2014it is 6:00 p.m. for European members). Just like in-person Rotary clubs, the E-club has speakers (often more famous than most Rotary clubs host) and engages in activities to help the community, hosting Rotary scholars, raising funds for good causes, and volunteering approximately 10 hours for every member.Today he works for UNICEF Innovation, and is appointed by Rotary International\u2019s President as Rotary\u2019s Youth Representative to the United Nations through which he has the responsibility of planning the annual Rotary UN Day (www.rotaryundaynyc.org).There is much more of interest in this interview than we have room to include here, so be sure to listen to the show.
